Hi everyone

I'm looking for some help with my freelander I'm not mechanically minded but I can do the basics haha I bought a my freelander 6 months ago and was told it needed new bearings for the propshaft as its jumping about when changing gear I took it off until I could get the new parts and when I went to drive off ( front wheels only ) it didn't move so I put the shaft back on and it drove I then took it to a garage to put on ramp and from what I can see the gearbox casing is smashed and looks like the internals have been took out and made to only run rear wheel drive so now it looks new bearings and gearbox now I've seen loads of gearboxes forsale but which one do I need it's the 2.0 di engine any info would be great as I need it fix as cheap as possible or I will have to sell and buy something else cheers for reading hope you can help .liam

ird unit do you mean with front diff failure ?gearbox fault would effect rear as well

:doh: :dnfnoob:

Sorry yes I guess it's the front diff then as it drives the rear spot on and goes through the gears smooth

it would be possible for drive shaft etc to fail and so loose drive to 1 wheel ,id fill in your details in an online breaker site ,it would be cheapest option ,try breakeryard .com ive used it a few times
